| ABSTRACT The Libyan Marj Province, part of the Libyan coastal plain, is known for its diverse habitats and a source for food for a variety of wildlife species. Given the nature of the vital environment in Libya, it was found that the most obvious aspect is that most of the country’s area falls within a desert climate. The most important feature of the Libyan desert is the oases in which the water level is close to the surface. The most important element in particular is the presence and abundance of bird species in the wild fauna. In this research, many species of mammals, birds and reptiles were observed. The objectives of the article were to explain the soil resources available in Libya in relation to the environmental and social assessment framework; provide examples of how Libyan soil databases can be used for environmental and social applications (for example, providing a healthy eating plate). It described some typical services in the country. The most important challenges (handicaps) facing agriculture and future growth in Libya are desertification, salinization, and limited freshwater resources. The most important types of soil and plants spread in these areas under study were monitored, as well as the wild animals that live in these areas. We have attached some pictures of these plants and animals. An amazing plant diversity appeared in the study area from one season to another and from one region to another within the study area, which negatively affected this diversity. It was directly affected by the surrounding environment and began to disappear in parts of the study area, as this study showed. There were many reasons for this disappearance, including natural and human causes, the main reason of which was the lack of environmental awareness among citizens and the absence of the role of the state and judicial legislation in limiting these dangerous violations. | ||
